Psychotherapy & Clinical Social Work
Evidence-based care to support mental health, resilience, and personal growth.
Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, is a structured treatment that helps individuals, couples, and families address psychological, emotional, and behavioral concerns. Clinical social workers and psychotherapists provide a safe and confidential space to explore challenges, develop coping strategies, and create meaningful change.
Each treatment plan is personalized, taking into account your unique experiences, goals, and strengths. Whether you are seeking support for a specific concern or working toward greater self-understanding, psychotherapy emphasizes collaboration, skill-building, and long-term well-being.
Core Principles of Psychotherapy
Evidence-based practice: Use therapies that are clinically proven to be effective.
Client-centered care: Respect and build on each individual’s values, goals, and lived experiences.
Collaboration: Work together in a supportive therapeutic relationship.
Whole-person focus: Recognize the connection between emotional, mental, physical, and social well-being.
Confidentiality and safety: Provide a secure, non-judgmental space for healing and growth.
Skill development: Equip individuals with tools to manage challenges and foster resilience.
Common Therapeutic Approaches
Psychotherapists and clinical social workers may draw from a range of approaches depending on your needs and goals:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identify and change unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior.
Mindfulness-Based Approaches – Cultivate present-moment awareness to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.
Psychodynamic Therapy – Explore underlying patterns and past experiences that shape current behavior.
Solution-Focused Therapy – Build on strengths and create practical strategies for change.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) – Deepen awareness of emotions to enhance relationships and self-understanding.
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) – Address communication patterns and strengthen relationships.
Concerns Addressed with Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy can support individuals through a wide range of life challenges, including:
Anxiety & Stress – Managing excessive worry, panic, and the impact of chronic stress.
Depression & Low Mood – Addressing persistent sadness, lack of motivation, and negative thought patterns.
Trauma & PTSD – Healing from difficult or overwhelming life experiences.
Grief & Loss – Navigating bereavement and life transitions with compassion and support.
Relationship Challenges – Improving communication, conflict resolution, and relational health.
Self-Esteem & Personal Growth – Building confidence, resilience, and self-awareness.
By fostering insight, emotional balance, and healthier coping strategies, psychotherapy provides a path toward greater mental health and overall quality of life.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Each treatment is unique to you and unique to how you arrive that day. No two treatments are the same as your body is a dynamic unit of function. Each time you come for treatment, your body will have taken on the adjustments from the previous treatment. In each treatment, the practitioner will assess your entire body and only apply the necessary adjustments to uncover the root cause of dysfunction. As such, the treatment is often slow and rhythmic, without the use of high-velocity thrusts.
